I fail to see how this makes him more 'manly' than the rest of his generation of drivers, yes his fitness helped with his survival & escape & with flames licking his arse, what else would he or any other driver do...he's not the only driver to have escaped a burning car.
Had it not been for the Halo he wouldn't have had a chance to emerge from the flames like the Phoenix he now is.

Does Romain fit my 'definition' of a 'more manly' 70's/80's racing driver...well obviously that'd be a no
Please define what being a real man means. I'm very interested in hearing this.
